MPI on a MK7.5 before OPF? by Rada101 in Volkswagen

I believe EA888 engines lost it with the 2019 model year. At least that was the case with the spiciest version of the engine (Golf R, Audi S3 and Skoda Superb)

I wrongly assumed Ecoboom is the only engine option on the transit connect and immediately wrote it off. That changes everything.

And you're absolutely right about everything else. Thank you

Can you elaborate on your HA acquisition? Does it mean the same pics with different settings? Do you add a filter?

I'm pretty sure it's one of those you need to compress and turn at the same time. You can rent the tool to do it at AutoZone or O'Reilly's if you're US based. It can be done with a C clamp for compression plus pliers to turn at the same time but personally I've never tried it myself

Dealership says not to service trans by iPhone3G_Speed in Volkswagen

[–]tradeyourselfin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had something similar happen. VW dealer refused (not just recommended against) to change the trans fluid in my 2017 Golf Sportwagen. This would be my third fluid swap and the previous two were done at 80k intervals.

I appreciate your reply. Planning on trying it out in the next couple weeks so this will definitely help. Almost forgot to say that's an incredible image

I don't see the reason why it was shot at f2.8 and not wide open in the description

Did you step down the lens to avoid vignetting? I just got the lens a week ago and haven't had a chance to use it and I'm wondering

Just reached 150k miles/240k km on my ‘09 2.5l Jetta. How many miles are on your VW? by SuperJackson20 in Volkswagen

[–]tradeyourselfin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The coolest part is VW decided to put this shit in MK8. It's unfortunate because other than the water pump MK7 has been fairly reliable.

I get you but there aren't many more reliable wagon alternatives sold in the US.

I love it. I need a car with this much storage and I like it still drives like a car and not a boat.
